The Art of Living Foundation's youth programs integrate powerful breathing techniques, meditation and yoga to release emotional and physical stress that can lead to violence and depression, and to encourage the development of higher human values in students. Problem-solving strategies, leadership training, and tools to deal with peer pressure and develop greater confidence are integrated with team building exercises and service learning activities in order to make the learning experiential. The self-empowering techniques foster peace of mind, mental clarity and focus, physical relaxation, greater emotional stability and overall well-being. The ideas and techniques are useful and applicable so students can integrate what they have learned into their daily lives.

Youth today face a number of important choices at home, at school, and socially as they navigate a rapidly changing world.

With so many influences giving direction to young people, cultivating the qualities of inner strength and compassion will be essential for tomorrow's leaders. We provide tools to nurture the growth of these qualities, so that our society will have powerful leaders dedicated to building a brighter future. The Art of Living Foundation empowers young people to move from being influenced by their environment, to having an influence on their environment. We work to ensure that tomorrow's voices for peace and unity are stronger than those of violence and self-centeredness.

We have programs for youth of all ages that are fun and challenging, with a special emphasis on nurturing human values common to all cultures, religions and traditions such as; non-violence, compassion, caring for the planet, enthusiasm for life and an attitude of service toward others.
